The "socialism kills" crowd love to use "authoritarianism" and "totalitarianism" as the bugaboos for their argument - oh, and "the people asked for socialism, so this is what they got" canard that the guy in the rebuttal video began using is also incredibly disingenuous - and he may know this. Don't see anything funny with the rebuttal but I also can't take him seriously with his line of "reasoning." Does the guy in the first video really call himself a communist somewhere? He may be, but I didn't see this mentioned by him (?) Maybe it's because I haven't had any caffeine yet this morning. I'll have to search in more detail for that.
